| 432.1 | When will SYBASE run on ULTRIX/RISC ? | KETJE::DEVOS | Life is too short to feel guilty... | Tue Oct 10 1989 12:36 | 33 |
| My 'potential' customer is waiting for SYBASE on ULTRIX/RISC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A customer did a lot of benchmarks in order to choose a 4GL.
They offered us a whole list with many questions concerning
- the database
- the 4gl
- the system
- the network...
etc.
In the shortlist we still have :
- ORACLE (on Bull)
- SYBASE (on SUN-unix)
- RALLY/RDB (on VAX)
After a lot of evaluation the customer wants
1. SYBASE
2. OUR NETWORK
3. UNIX
My question now is :
WHEN WILL SYBASE BE PORTED ON DECstations ?
This is a multi million dollar project ...win or lose...
Anybody any idea...
Regards

| I'd suggest you call SYBASE (415) 596-3500 and ask them. SYBASE is not
a Digital product under any form of agreement.
SYBASE on the DECstations IS announced (Digital News, October 2, Page
9), but no availability information is included in the article.
Digital's database product for Ultrix is To-Be-Announced, but has been program
announced as being based on INGRES.

| it's out; i played with it for quite a while at unix-expo last week here in nyc;
the workbench (dwb) interface is quite a step backward from the UIS interface
i've used; we've managed to get the Ultrix client talking via tcp/ip
(wollogon) to a vms server as an interim for some customers of ours

| 432.4 | SYBASE ULTRIX/RISC | TRCA01::SANDHU | | Fri Apr 06 1990 21:58 | 14 |
| So, does Sybase run under Ultrix/RISC? I have a customer who is
considering the same scenario as .0 Sybase/Ultrix/RISC. I have to
see him real soon, (2 days), and am trying to get a grip on the
competitive information for Sybase/RISC/Ultrix. The fear here is
losing the whole thing to SUN/Sybase.
Also, what kind of effort would be required to "port" a Sybase
application developed under RISC/Ultrix to VAX/VMS? ie. pros/cons.
P.S. They have tentatively chosen Sybase as the database strategy
and at this time we cannot bring up Ultrix SQL. So I just need info
on pros/cons of Sybase on our RISC/Ultrix.
Thanks in advance.
